The Mars Opposition phenomenon will reach its climax this
morning.
Planet Mars will rise at around 10 pm from a southeasterly
direction. It will reach its peak at 12.30 am and will set by 3 am.
Though the peak will be tonight, it will last till around the end
of the month. So catching it over at The Mars Star Party this
Saturday makes no significant difference. In fact, Mars will be
closer than it is today in 2287, but then who'll get this kinda
chance again.
Have fun..
